This workshop is fun and easier than you might think...
Using a pre-rolled slab of clay, you will have access to templates, moulds, stencils & stamps, to build, design, decorate and personalise your own vase.
You will be guided with demonstrations, support and examples, on the various techniques used to make, decorate & bring out the surface design.
Please be aware that I will not be firing your items in a kiln.
This is how I keep the cost down for my workshops.
However, they can be made waterproof once they have dried and been painted.
You will be able to paint & varnish your creation once dry, in one of my 'Paint your Pot' workshops (or at home if you wish).
Please note, you can turn your vase into a Lighthouse, Castle Turret, Mushroom Home/Fairy House or even a Mug Face.
Whilst the timings are listed as 1pm - 5:30pm, you don't have to stay to the end. Work at your own pace and go when ready.
If anyone is running late, I will provide further individual support once the group are working on the first stage.
